- Creativity is doing something that no one else has done or the ability to making something out of nothing.
- Creativity is defined as the tendency to generate or recognize ideas, alternatives, or possibilities that may be useful in solving problems, communicating with others, and entertaining ourselves and others. creativity definition
- The first person who fits my definition of creativity is Travis Pastrana, he is a professional freestyle motocross rider, he has done things on a dirtbike that many people wouldn't even think could be done. Travis Pastrana Bio
- The next person who i believe fits my definition of creativity is Pavel Datsyuk, he is a professional hockey player, he is known as one of the most creative players in the the game, he is very creative when it comes to breakaways and shoot-outs. Pavel Datsyuk Bio
Straw Project
-Ben, Timmer and I, connected straws by sticking the ends into each other until they were tall enough to reach the ceiling then we would lightly twist two strands together and tie them down to the fondation and then we connected them with tape at the top and center for more stability.
-The tower was way too unstable, due to a weak foundation. Another problem was that the higher the tower got, the more wobbly it was because the straws were to weak. And the tower also wasn't taped in the most ideal areas.
-Although we were not able to overcome the problems within the time limit, we have thought more about the design since, and we now understand that the design may have worked with a stronger foundation, as well as more straws wound together for a thicker studier structure.
-One thing we could have used more of was the tape, with more tape we would have been able to make the tower studier at the top.
-We all felt as though the tower was unsuccessful due to the fact that it was extremely unstable. With a more symmetric design we feel that we would be able to create a tower that would be able to stand for hours, but unfortunately symmetry was a negative factor in our project.
Structure Project
-This project was to make a paper structure and see how many books it can hold.
-Our structure held 16 books and we made a square structure with support in the middle to even out the weight of the books, and keep it from folding.
-We learned that it is about covering the most surface area because the weight is distributed more and makes the books weigh less. Also it is better to have a shorter structure so that it is stronger and less likely to move and fold.
-Our chair is comfortable yet stable enough for a small giant, we've had many different designs and finally chose to use our triangular design in which we have three sheets of cardboard with stabalizers in between and a layer of cardboard of the top with a head rest and a nice little stand next to it.
As you can see in the picture above, our chair is extremely stable, and it can comfortably hold the 210 pound Bob Nicholas with ease.
As we went along with the project, we made some moderate changes to the chair including the way it is in a triangular shape. At the start we were trying to go with more of a square base, however then we decided to make it look more modern and comfortable. We utilized the extra cardboard by making a stand off to the side of it, as well as a head rest for more comfort.
The final project is we must design and build a balloon launcher that will launch a balloon and hit our fellow classmates. Our group consists of Bobby Mund and Bob Nicholas. We were planning on using some type of catapulte Launcher but we weren't sure on how we were going to make it work and launch until Mr. Hunt helped us out and gave us some ideas. The design we chose consists of launching a water balloon with a catapulte that is pulled back with the tension of a bungee cord. We feel that the design is very good and that it will work up to our expectations.
